 GUINSAUGON, Philippines (AP) - Uncertain if they were even digging in the right place, emergency crews tried to find a mud-swamped elementary school Wednesday as fears grew that time may have run out for rescuing any more survivors of a massive landslide.
Teams of Philippine soldiers and U.S. Marines, along with Malaysian and Taiwanese experts, had suspended the search overnight because of concern that rain was making the area more prone to further landslides. Also, a small generator used to light the area ran out of fuel.
"We have not found any structure to indicate the location of the school," said Joel Son, in charge of a group of miners working at the site. "It's all mud."
